Better Locator
- By
Better Locator — a client-side Fabric mod that turns the standard locator bar into a true tracker. It allows you to track a specific player based on their marker color, or track everyone, without revealing information the server doesn't want you to see.
Better Locator
Better Locator builds on Minecraft's own Locator Bar (1.21.6+) and turns its simple coloured dots into a clear, fully configurable tracking experience — using only the information the game already gives you.
Follow a single player by their marker colour, or keep an eye on everyone your Locator Bar already shows.

✨ Features
- Custom Track Command — follow one player by name:
/betterlocator track <player>
- Colour Tracking — every player on the Locator Bar gets a marker colour; follow a player by that colour.
- Two Modes — **SINGLE** (one target) or **ALL** (everyone currently shown on your Locator Bar).
- Directional Tracer — a slim line pointing from you toward each tracked player.
- Outline Highlight — a light outline around tracked players for quick recognition.
- On-Screen Markers — a distance-scaled dot on your screen for each tracked player.
- Name & Compass Tag — the player's name, live distance, and a compass direction.
- Edge Arrows — an arrow at the screen border points to tracked players that are off-screen.
- Range Filter — optionally only track players close enough to be relevant.
- Max Distance — set a limit and ignore far-away targets.
- Colour-Collision Warning — a heads-up when several players share a tracked colour.
- Client-Side Only — no server installation needed; everything is visual and only you see it.
- Lightweight & Compatible — works alongside other mods and does not send network packets.
